    Have you got USB keyboard and mouse? Can you use the old ps2 -round connecter- mouse and keyboard just for now?
    It may be that you have to go into setup and select optimised values - if it's there. Then save and exit.

    Hi again spakkker, sorry about my post above where I thought I was replying to Lokolo... :o
    Many thanks for coming onto the thread to help me... :A

    I don't know what a ps2 is I'm afraid, but am able to use the mouse and keyboard if I wiggle the mouse connection to the PC.

    I'll try anything which any of you tell me to do, as long as it is in simple 1 2 3 steps to follow type of thing, or it may go wrong again... :(

    I'm not as smart as you might think. If I were a dumb terminal, the Internet would be my external memory. I'm virtually useless without it! :D

    I've just done that, and I now have options...

    F9:Setup defaults
    F10: Save & Exit

    It says other things too, would you like me to type all of it?

    If yes... It'll take me a while as I'm rather tired now... :o

    But these are my options!

    Thank you so much for following up this problem!
